Merry Christmas all!!

Saturday was the long run of 13 and I finished at 2 hrs. 27 mins, about 5 mins short of my Vegas 1/2 time. Overall, it was a good run with not running that long since Dec. 2. I was definitely tired and sore afterwards, but the cold bath and some secret sports doc stuff got me ready for the ride on Sunday with none on there than FORMULA-IC, fellow blogger, and his lovely new wife.

I met da Form at his house and we all left from there with a nice easy ride to get to the trail and then it was pretty much on. The trail is great! Closed to all traffic and about 5` wide and asphalt, pretty smooth. Now there was some serious hill climbers here and I know I will be seeing this route many more times in training. Really, at one point, I didn't think I was going to make it to the top of one of the hill's! Shit! HR totally pounding, suckn for O2!! it was great!

As we rode on I took some pictures at one of your turn around, that's Form.. in da white..

Of course I had to do the Self pic while riding! HA!.

Today, was a nice 1200 m swim and some weights, seems like I am finally getting on a schedule.

Nothing lame or gay about working with others to be able to find a cure for blood related cancers by 2015.

I've been asked to race on shop teams and I have had to turn them down. It would mean I would have to quit wearing my TNT gear to race in. I have to keep people aware of this issue. I have to do it for my honored Teammates Jonathan, Bill, and Chad who are in remission right now. I have to do it for my Mom who lost her battle in 2002. I have to do it to get others to join MY TEAM.

Every 5 minutes, someone is diagnosed with leukemia, lymphoma, myloma, or another blood-related cancer and every 10 minutes someone dies from one of these diseases. Remember, it is not too late to make a tax-deductible donation to The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society for 2007. Think of all the children and adults who you would be helping.
